12:00 pm
thanks for watching. newsroom international is next. >> welcome into newsroom international. i'm suzanne malveaux. >> and i'm michaelle holmes. >> we begin in south africa. oscar pistorius will not get out on bail today. his court hearing adjourned without a decision on whether to let the olympic star out of jail. so charged with murdering his girlfriend. also police pulled the lead detective off the case today. very strange development. full details and we're live from south africa in just a minute. a search is under way for a 34-year-old navy s.e.a.l. the sailor got separated from his unit but they are not releasing any other information about the incident at the moment. the u.s. coast guard and local crews are helping with the search. we'll update with the details of this story as soon as they
12:01 pm
become available. >> a gunfight, a car crash on the las vegas strip killed three people today. check out the pictures. pretty dramatic. police say someone in an suv fired at police inside a maserati. that car blew through an intersection. the taxicab caught fire killing the driver and passenger. the maserati's driver also died. no word yet on what actually led to the shooting. oscar pistorius not going to be let out of jail at least not today. the bail hearing end ad couple of hours ago. the judge putting off a decision. another strange development. >> this is day three going into day four in this murder case. we'll go to pretoria, south africa, police removing the lead investigator after a revelation that came out of nowhere. robin, extraordinary develops.
12:02 pm
this just goes on and on. >> reporter: i want does, doesn't it. it is like a television drama, csi south africa somebody says. it gets so bizarre because that lead investigator who took over, who took the stand yesterday gave quite an embarrassing bit of evidence on the stand. it turns out he's been charged with seven counts of attempted murder himself. now, of course, the police coming out and saying we now are going to remove him from the case, put one of the top detectives on the case now. but essentially this points to bungling perhaps of the case and somebody asked the police commissioner if they were embarrassed, this is what she had to say. >> embarrassing. there is nothing embarrassing for us as police because that's the judgment you're taking and you have that judgment.
12:03 pm
at this point in time i don't know when we talk about embarrassing and we talk about great performance. i'm not a judge. we can't say. that's not for us to judge. it's for that court to judge whether it was a mistake or poor performance. >> okay. here inside the private private magistrate court there were some bizarre twists and turn. again very dramatic and compelling evidence coming throughout the day. i'll bring in a law professor just to take us through some of the key points. i was in that courtroom and it was riveting. for me it seemed like the state was really punching holes in oscar's stories, his version of fence. >> you must remember that oscar pistorius has to convince tha t
12:04 pm
m magistrate. >> remember the defense must prove the exceptional circumstances. they need everything and anything they can use to corroborate their version. forensics one way to do so and that's probably the reason why they went about as they did. >> they also paint ad picture of oscar pistorius as a violent person, incidents where he perhaps assaulted somebody or threatened them and accidental shooting of a gun in a restaurant. they are trying to paint a picture of him as beyond the golden boy. >> the state must prove
12:05 pm
premeditated murder. in order to do so they can't paint a picture of a happy go lucky world famous athlete. they must prove to the court that this is an offender. that this is a murderer. yeah. >> thank you so much. of course we'll be back here tomorrow. it's hoped according to many people, close to the case that there will be a final judgment, there will be something from the magistrate. >> also covering other stories a car bomb exploding in the heart of damascus. >> this appears to be targeting the headquarters of the syrian government ruling party the baath party. >> ivan watson is covering the story. ivan, does anybody claim responsibility for what happened today? >> reporter: no. we haven't had any claims of
12:06 pm
responsibility yet. we certainly know this was a massive blast, according to all the video evidence that's emerged. devastated this square, damaging buildings all around it and hurling cars, setting fire to more than a dozen of them. the syrian state news is reporting that some 63 people have been killed in this blast and more than 200 wounded and some of the casualties are school children since there are at a least two schools in the nearby vicinity. take a listen to what some of the survivors were telling syrian state tv today, suzanne. >> translator: this is terrorism. this is murder. this cannot be endorsed by islam. may god curse them. they come and kill our women and children and claim that it is in the name of islam. what kind of islam are they talking about?
12:07 pm
>> translator: to the free syrian army i am from iraq. car blew up when i was in the area. why? why? may god curse you. is this the freedom that they want? may god curse you? >> reporter: so we hear there are people, survivors condemning not only the free syrian army but also a hard line islamist group that's been labeled the terrorist organization by the u.s. government. that's the nusra front. nope claims of responsibility thus far. in the past the nusra front has claimed responsibility for car bombings in damascus. another syrian opposition group in exile, it has publish ad statement, suzanne, condemning this act calling it a heinous crime. >> ivan, thank you. that bomb was absolutely huge. >> it's interesting. he mentioned the nusra front.
12:08 pm
this is the organization where we're talking whether the u.s. should arm rebels and who those arms should go to. that's who we're talk to. whether they are linked to al qaeda. >> and just to hear that woman, unbelievable. los angeles hotel guests are upset now. they were drinking water from a water tank that had a daddy body in it. >> this is a body of a 21-year-old canadian tourist. she had been missing for weeks. today the health department now looking into whether the water was actually harmful for the guests in the hotel. >> the hotel has had a bizarre past that actually includes serial killers. >> it tasted horrible. it had a very funny, disgusting taste. it's very, very strange taste. i can barely describe it. >> michael and sabina tourists

12:10 pm
psychologically, you think about it and it's not good. >> the l.a. county defendant health said the hotel was on an order of flush only. a reasonable solution if the hotel provides bottled water. the hotel would not speak to cnn but did notify guests about a quote and health and safety condition. guests tell us if they leave they don't get a refund. if they stay they must sign this legal agreement releasing the hotel of legal liability. it says if guests stay, quote, you do so at your own risk and peril. this gruesome discovery in the latest chapter for a dark history. two serial killers have lived here including the night stalker found guilty of killing 13 people in the 1980s. he lived on the 14th floor host tell. >> he was living here during his killing spree, going out at night and killing people. >> this is just the latest

if you're not getting what you paid for but also being misled there's something not quite right with the fish? >> 91% of the fish we're eating in the u.s. is actually imported. that includes fish that was caught here and sent overseas for processing. that's a really, really long food chain. and deception can happen along the way. it can happen anywhere from the boat to somebody mislabelling fish at the restaurant. >> how do you make sure you get what you pay for? >> well the great thing is that there are a lot of people who are doing the right thing. you can make sure to patronize stores and fish mongers who are registered with these advocacy groups. go to your fish monger and make sure you're getting something from the whole fish. the further it gets from the whole fish the harder it is to determine where it comes from. like diamonds if the price is too good to be truie

12:30 pm
orphans. in 2011 only around 7400 were adopted by russian families. despite the obvious need for more people who are willing to love these children, russia has banned americans from adopting here. and some officials are now pushing for a total ban on all international adoptions. the orphanage director supports international adoption because she says there aren't yet enough russian families willing to do it. she says she hopes the government will encourage more russians to adopt. some russian officials fought for the ban on american adoptions because they claim russian children are often mistreated in the united states. it was also a response to an american law targeting russian human rights abuses. critics of the ban like the tens of thousands of russians who marched against i want say the country's orphans are suffering

12:32 pm
exported overseas in the last few years turned into commodities rather than being looked after here. when you talk to international experts they agree it's usually preferable for orphans to be placed with families within the same culture or country. the concern in this case russia is getting it the wrong way around. by implementing the ban before it has built up a durl of adoption with enough russian families willing to take on the responsibility russia is effectively condemning so many more children to institutionalized childhoods. >> the whole thing has expanded out. a lot of people want all adoptions banned internationally. is there any chance, any talk there that this ban on say the u.s. adopting russian kids could be reversed? is there any kind of appetite for that? >> michael it doesn't seem likely at all, no. the one remaining battleground however is with american families who have begun their adoption process but not completed it before that ban

kicked in. these are people who spent a lot of money, may have already been here, met children, formed a bond with them. they are still fighting for the right to complete that process and take the children home. but it is not looking good in their case. and the outrage we've seen in russia just in the past few days over the death of a russian orphan in texas, that outrage, that concern, that has not head their cause at all. >> bill, good to see you. one of the things that's important, a lot of those kids are disabled. that americans will adopt. >> yeah. as you pointed out a lot of them just won't be adopted in russia. very sad. we'll switch gears. when we come back have a look at this guy. a year ago all of basketball seemed to be talking was linsanity. >> where is jeremy lin now and what happened to all the excitement? we'll hear from lin in his own words up next.

12:50 pm
nicole. good to see you. we talked about this before. you have a front page article in the "new york times" today. you also wrote about it before, how the "new york times" itself was hacked. this has become a very big deal for a lot of companies and the "new york times" disclosed this but a lot of companies don't. tell us why it's a dirty little secret. >> that's right. there are thousands of companies that we now know have been hacked and you only really hear about a few of them so we came forward and right after we came forward you saw the "wall street journal" come forward. you saw "the washington post" come forward. we reported that bloomberg was hit as well. but you really, these are sort of the tip of the iceberg. the fact is if you ask government officials they say there's only two type of companies in the u.s. now, companies that have been hacked and companies that don't know they've been hacked. the reason you don't hear about the ones that have been hacked

12:52 pm
report about this. >> china says it's not us. what do you make that? >> yeah. i think their quote is always it's unprofessional and baseless to accuse china. the fact is that there are thousands of attacks that are coming from one ip range in shanghai, and we mention this in our report. we couldn't get in the building. but if it's not the chinese then there are,000 sansd of hackers outside that building hacking into u.s. companies without china knowing about it which when you think about it is a little preposterous. >> we know they are stealing trade information worth billions of dollars. do we have any idea what this is costing us here in this country. >> there's been estimates all over the place. there was one estimate last year this now will cost the u.s. a trillion dollars. how do you quantify. everybody values their ip differently.

new york's jet quarterback tim tebow had a change of heart. he's cancelling his appearance at a dallas mega church that he was set to speak at in late april. pastor at first baptist dallas has come under criticism for some very publicly held views on catholics, gays and islam. we're following the story.
1:15 pm
eric give us a sense of what this pastor has said. >> reporter: the pastor at first baptist, 11,000 member congregation said christianity is right and a lot of other religions long. he called mormonism a cult. he said unkind things about islam. he's come under a lot of fire about how he talked about gays and lesbians. this is part of the reason why this controversy erupted by tim tebow accepting to speak at the church saying he was there to endorse the pastor. how they express those beliefs are much different and obviously tebow is a much softer in how he talks about his faith. pastor jeffers has been more critical about other faiths when he talks about his own. pastor jeffers has been kind enough to join us on the telephone from dallas. good afternoon. thank you for being with us.
1:16 pm
>> appreciate you having me. let me just say one thing about your report. you know, when it comes to catholicism i've said publicly there will be millions of catholics who will be in heaven because they trusted in christ the savior. i was talking about theological differences. we're outspoken in our beliefs. it's funny to me that a church like ours that simply says christ is the only way to heaven and sex should be between a man and a woman is somehow now considered to be a hate church. >> well pastor there are some things you said particularly about gays and lesbians that have upset many of them. i want to give you a chance to explain your position on sexual assault -- sexuality. >> actually the ap did a story several weeks ago talking about my compassionate attitude
1:17 pm
towards homosexuality and that i believe it's a sin like adultery or pre-marital sex. god has a standard for sex and that is a man and a woman in marriage and any deviation from that whether it's homosexuality, adultery, pre-marital sex is wrong. we don't hate homosexuals at all. i have homosexuals friends gays and lesbians. they are in our church. but we have to uphold the truth of god's word. god created sex. he knows how it operates best. >> pastor let me ask you this last question here. your criticism has been how you spoken. do you think this controversy will to change the way you approach these issues and how you talk about them even if what you believe doesn't change? >> no. because people who know me and listen to my messages rather than listening to people characterizing my message we are filled with hope.
1:18 pm
i've had letters there gays and lesbians that have attend our service and we were surprised how compassionately you dealt with the subject. we'll be a love hope based church and that's not going change. >> pastor thank you so much for joining us. suzanne, back to you. former first lady laura bush featured in this ad supporting same sex marriage but she would like to take her participation out of that ad and not be in it. then suzy orman tells us why same sex marriage is good for the economy.

big bird, back in politics after mitt romney threatened the pbs star. the white house announcing first lady michelle obama teaming up with "sesame street's" big bird for two public announcements. they are encouraging kids to get active and eat healthy. former first lady laura bush featured in the ad supporting same sex marriage. the respect for marriage features other republicans supporting same sex marriage. a spokesperson said mrs. bush did not approve of her inclusion or associated with the group that made the ad. she's asked the group to remove
1:22 pm
her name from that particular ad. same group behind the ad invited financial expert suzy orman to host an event in new york today. she talked about how banning same sex marriage actually hurts the economy and now orman's comments come at a time when the supreme court is considering constitutionality of the defense of marriage act. it defines as marriage exclusively between a man and a woman. it allows states not to recognize same sex marriage licenses that are issued in other states. so, suzy, good to see you. you're not a member of the group. we want to make that clear. you're not in this ad. but you were invited to speak before the group. you're making the case now allowing gay couples to get married makes financial sense. temple us how? >> it makes financial sense because many people may not know that just because nine states and the district of columbia have passed same sex marriage that doesn't mean that the
1:23 pm
federal government has passed it. so the federal government does not on any level recognize same sex marriage. here you are in your work and this is just one example. you want your spouse, same sex couple on your health insurance policy. to cover him or her. you will have to pay income taxes on that imputed benefit. many of the couples we talked to this morning when we were giving our talk at nyu, it costs them anywhere between $5,000 and $9,000 more per year in taxes because of those benefits. or added income to themselves. now that is money that doesn't go into the economy. now while it's true that they pay more in taxes, the taxes are not in the united states of america what holds up the economy, the earnings and job growth and everything like that holds it up. that is millions and millions of dollars not going into the economy because of things like that. that's just one example. >> give us an example, i you
1:24 pm
know have our own, you have been married to your partner for quite sometime. you were married in south africa several years ago. how does it impact you personally? >> it impacts me personally it's no secret or you would hope somebody in my position would be a very wealthy woman and when i die if k. t. were still alive or vice versa, k. t. or myself we'll lose over 50% or approximately 50% of our estate to estate taxes. if we were married and recognized on the federal level we would not owe one penny of tax. how would all the heterosexuals that were married if they knew upon the death of one of them if they have a certain size of estate they will lose up to half of that estate. they wouldn't stand for it. it affects me on that level. it affects me for the fact that
1:25 pm
i've been gay my entire life. this is something i've been fighting for my entire life. i pay a lot of money in income tax. i do everything i can to help america with their money problems. i really feel i should be recognized every single gay person in the united states of america should be recognized for who they love and not penalized for it financially speaking. >> you make a financial argument. you make a social justice argument. you know a lot of people turn, we just heard from the pastor five minutes ago making a moral argument. how would you respond to him who doesn't seem to acknowledge it at all even saying it's not legitimate. >> he can say what he wants and obviously people are going to follow him with that. but the majority of people in the united states of america especially the young ones today i do not believe that they believe in what the pastor said. they believe in human equality. they believe in civil rights.
1:26 pm
they believe in economic rights. they just don't believe what our interpretation, of what god would want is how it should be. they look at people their sons and daughters and parents and best friends they are employer, employees, it's everybody today. so everyone, we belong to the united states of america, we need to be united for everybody not just for the elite heterosexual few but for everybody. >> suzy orman, good to see you. a bizarre twist in the oscar pistorius case. the olympic runner faces premeditated murder charges the investigator is face several counts of attempted murder. a live report from south africa up next.

1:31 pm
would no doubt like a stronger team which they now got. south african authorities putting their top detectives on this case, high-profile case and many people asking why didn't they do it soon center >> how is it they didn't know this guy was charged with murder before. was it swept under the rug? >> reporter: they did know. this is the thing. this is a process. they say the national prosecuting authority knew about this. he shot seven times at a mini bus taxi along with his colleagues. this took place while on shift. there was talk this group of policemen were drunk. this is something, this charge was removed off the books and now been reinstated. ate bit confusing, i must say. either way the man is no longer investigating oscar pistorius case and it's one extra sort of bizarre twist and turn in this dramatic story. >> absolutely unbelievable. just day after day.
1:32 pm
almost like, you just can't make it up. thank you very much. oscar pistorius still in jail. we're still awaiting another day to see just how long he'll stay in there as they determine his bail hearing. the brother of the victim in the shooting of reeva steenkamp says he hopes that pistorius stays in jail. he talked to our own jake taper. >> what was your impression of her relationship with oscar pistorius? >> i had no bad indications whatsoever. i did not actually talk to my sister in any detail about oscar at all. i mean, in fact, i didn't talk to my sister about oscar at all. there was no indication that anything was bad. i mean we know reeva. she was happy. if reeva was happy everything was okay. >> that was last night on

1:34 pm
showed it was low t. that's it. it was a number -- not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1.62% (testosterone gel). the #1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. men with breast cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. so...what do men do when a number's too low?

[ male announcer ] in a clinical study, over 80% of treated men had their t levels restored to normal. talk to your doctor about all your symptoms. get the blood tests. change your number. turn it up. androgel 1.62%. so, the video is kind of shocking and it's not just because little girls are fighting. it's actually because you got
1:36 pm
adults who essentially are egging them on. watch. >> slap her. slap her. >> all right. so we're watching this, you know. i mean some of it, you know, smacking, pulling hair, some of this, you know, we've seen before. but what is really strange and crazy about this is you've got people, adults who seem to be encouraging this. what do we know about this video that's emerged? >> reporter: the question is whether this rises to the level of child abuse or child endangerment. that's what detectives are trying to figure out. it's disturbing not just adults or maybe it was teenagers let this happen but one in one of them recorded it and then posted it online. as you look at the video it starts with a face to face
1:37 pm
confrontation. listen to those adults or teenagers shouting to have this continue, both of the children appear somewhat defiant. the child in the black says it's a play fight. the adult says no you were play fighting before. then the tone changes. grab her. slap her. the adults or teen urge the girl in white to slap the other child. it lasts for 40 seconds. the child in black doesn't fight. she's clearly in pain. visibly shocked that her friend is doing this to her and that the others are cheering for this to happen. she starts to cry. what you don't see she grabs her backpack suggesting this happened after school. look at her there. she's in clear distress and later you hear hearsay i'm not going jail. there are other children around as this recording place. it appears perhaps it was teenagers making this fight happen. a manhattan special investigation unit is
1:38 pm
investigating. they are trying to figure out where it took place. it is clearly so distressing and so disturbing and police could potentially file charges if they figure out who was involved in all of this. >> this is wrong on so many levels. do we think any of the adults who were there were the parents or these were people who just happened to be on the schoolyard? do we have any idea? >> reporter: no. it's so totally unclear. that's why detectives are trying to track it down. it's one of those instance where something bad happens and then rather than have broken the ups or adults intercede what ends up happening you see this video posted on youtube and that want itself is fundamentally disturbing. >> they are encouraging these kids then videotaping these kids and then post it on youtube. i don't even understand it. let us know if you get any details. if you love seafood, pretty
